…Meanwhile, somewhere mysterious in the Middle Continent…
An old white-haired man was sitting before a chess board filled with black and white pieces. One of the white pieces was suddenly shattered into powder.
“It seems like we’ve baited him out.”
The old white-haired man murmured.
“However, Qin Nan is definitely the victim this time.”
The old white-haired man chuckled as he rose up and disappeared.
…Meanwhile, in the Resplendent Land…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Qin Nan, Jiang Bilan, and the cultivators landed on the ground. Those who failed to react in time crashed into the ground, producing large pits.
They were safe after arriving at the Resplendent Land.
“The Monarch Fish is dead!”
“What just happened?”
“That giant hand was scary! Was it an attack by a peak Martial Monarch Realm expert?”
The crowd was still immersed in a great shock.
The Monarch Fish was a godly being that belonged to the Monarch Ranking. Harming the Monarch Fish was the same as challenging the Monarch Ranking’s authority.
Who would dare to do such a thing?
“Qin Nan, Qin Nan, wake up!” Jiang Bilan yelled when he saw Qin Nan with a pale face and his eyes lacking focus. She immediately executed a powerful Monarch Art, enchanting her voice.
Qin Nan’s figure shuddered as his eyes regained focus, but his heart was still beating rapidly.
Wait?
What did that mean?
Was the giant hand targeting him?
Who exactly was it that dared to kill the Monarch Fish?
“The rare change of the South-Heaven Godly Curtain, the terrifying giant hand—it seems like some powerful authorities have set their eyes on me!”
Qin Nan took a deep breath as his gaze sharpened.
He would not offend those who left him alone. If they dared to target him, once he found out the truth, he would show no mercy when he had the chance, regardless of how terrifying their background was.
Upon making up his mind, Qin Nan’s heart gradually calmed down. He nodded to Jiang Bilan before checking his surroundings.
The priority now was to familiarize himself with the mysterious Resplendent Land.
The sky was filled with stars glowing gently, while their surroundings were filled with different shaped strange-looking trees.
The Resplendent Land did not seem too different compared to the other forbidden areas.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, why don’t you share the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch and the half-Martial God’s succession with everyone?” At that instant, a sinister voice could be heard, who was none other than the young man with the demonic aura.
Behind him, the other six geniuses who were ranked in the top thirty of the Monarch Ranking uttered hollow laughs as well.
The geniuses of the purple domain were startled, who immediately realized what they were up to.
“What are you planning to do? Bully him with numbers?”
However, before Qin Nan could speak, Ao Cangtian glared at them and snapped.
Behind him stood Su Qingqing, Hua Jiwudao, An Lin, and an icy-looking Mu Mu.
Obviously, they had decided to support Qin Nan!
“Do you need my help?” Jiang Bilan purposely raised her tone as she glanced at Qin Nan.
Qin Nan glimpsed at her without saying anything. The blood inside his body began to boil.
The mysterious black hand was targeting him, and now these people were targeting him too. If that was the case, they shouldn’t blame him for being merciless!
“Hehe, just the five of you?” The young man’s eyes flickered with disdain as he spoke, “I believe that we’re not the only ones interested in his treasure, right? Everyone, let’s attack together. Once Qin Nan’s dead, we’ll split his possessions among ourselves!”
“Sure! I agree!”
“That’s right, he should share the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch and the succession of the half-Martial God with us!”
The eyes of the crowd flickered as they stepped forward without hesitation.
At that instant, apart from the young man with the demonic aura and his crew, twenty-one other geniuses who were ranked between fifty and a hundred had stepped forward!
Ao Dongfang and the others were stunned.
There was no way they would stand a chance against so many of them!
“Qin Nan, you have ten breaths’ time to decide. Otherwise, you will die! Ten, nine, eight, seven…” The young man unleashed his aura as he approached Qin Nan, taking a step at a time.
The surrounding geniuses gathered their auras too. They would strike once the countdown had come to an end.
“Senior Brother Qin Nan, you should leave. We’ll cover your back!” At that instant, Ao Dongfang instantly made up his mind and let out a roar.
“HAHA, I appreciate your kindness!”
Qin Nan burst out laughing upon hearing this. Following this, his gaze became cold as his figure charged forward.
The young man with the demonic aura and the rest of the geniuses were astounded. They never thought Qin Nan would dare to take the initiative to attack facing so many of them at once!
He must be out of his mind!
“Martial Spirit unleashed, the suppression of Divine Battle Spirit, down you go!”
In the blink of an eye, Qin Nan unleashed the Divine Battle Spirit without hesitation.
The terrifying suppression swept forward and crushed downward toward the geniuses like a giant mountain.
“Fifth…fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit?”
The crowd of cultivators wore dumbfounded looks on their faces.
A fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit was not rare, but they clearly remembered Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit was only fourth-grade Tian ranked before.
Did that mean that Qin Nan had altered his destiny again?
While being shocked, many of them began to wear troubled expressions.
They could sense an incredibly strong pressure; even their hearts were filled with the thought of surrendering themselves.
Many of the geniuses subconsciously tried to unleash their Martial Spirits, but they discovered that they were unable to do so!
Their Martial Spirits…
Were trembling!
“Weren’t you asking for the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch? I’ll give it to you right now!”
Qin Nan’s right arm exploded into the Heaven-Shattering Saber. A shocking saber intent burst out from it, slashing at his enemies.
At that instant, the saber intent swept across the place like a thunderstorm, leaving them with no place to escape to.
“How bold!”
The young man with the demonic aura and the others swiftly reacted by executing their Monarch Arts.
Even though they were unable to release their Martial Spirits, they could easily handle Qin Nan and his crew as they had the numerical advantage.
Ao Dongfang, An Lin, Su Qingqing, and the others unleashed their cultivations and joined the fight too.
“Starting a fight after arriving at an unfamiliar place, how naive.”
Jiang Bilan shook her head as the deathly aura was emitted from her body.
Despite saying that, she still joined the battle.
Suddenly, a series of deafening explosions could be heard coming from the woods in the distance.
The entire place began to tremble, as if an army of cavalrymen were storming in their direction.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan raised his eyebrows. He dodged the incoming attacks with ease and glanced backward.
“What’s happening?”
The crowd collected their thoughts and scanned with their Divine Sense.
